Actually, I was hoping to get some sentimentality out of the movie, but I counldn't get past JEJ spraying Costner with the DDT or whatever that was. I was like, "Wow, this is awful." I remember that last scene very vividly, and it's a great scene, but the preceeding 119 minutes (or whatever) are unbearable.

I actually did watch 4400 on a fairly regular basis. But I would never describe it as "real good." I liked it, but I'm fine it's gone. I'd like some resolution, I guess, but whatever. And I never got any insights (political or otherwise) from that show.

VP, 6 Feet Under did end on time, agreed. I just like when shows do not overstay their welcome strictly because Networks want to use them as a cash cow. When a guy like Gervais can call his own shots, you end up with a finite arc, and it translates into quality.

And that's what its really about. American television simply does not understand (and I would probably argue - value) the meta-narrative. Most shows are built upon minor substories without any thought to long term resolution.

If the temple bar were a sports team, I would say that Lynook, pfan, LemonMac and LemonMelon are the rookie phenoms. They need to step up to the plate more in 2k8, increase posting productivity while maintaining their high level of quality. The future of this place is resting with you guys. I see great things coming from you all.
